Becoming Led Zeppelin is on my list.

Highly recommended!

We watched this last night...So well done, seeing the early stuff was especially mind blowing, painstakingly restored. 

4 amazing artists with the conviction to pursue music at such early ages. Such a range in their songbook.

Also watching Murderbot and enjoying that too.

Haven't watched it yet, but am binge reading the Murderbot Diaries, it's great.  The Author, Martha Wells has a background in Anthropology which ex[lains the .... Makes me think of the Foundation Series, R. Daneel Olivaw and  fleshes out the Laws of robotics with AI.  Good stuff.

Know exactly what you mean, I find myself mostly wanting something light and positive. At one point I was so desperate for some positive movies that I subscribed to the Hallmark Channel! A few I recently watched on Netflix, Nonnas (based on true story, must watch) and The Life List (inspired me to start one!) Also some older ones I just rewatched that really like - Always Be My Maybe, Instant Family, All Together Now. Some shows I really liked on Apple TV are Shrinking and Platonic, also just started Stick which seems pretty good, typical Owen Wilson, him in the Internship along with Vince Vaughn is one of my favorites ever.

My sister told me Nonnas was must see, but it fell flat for us.

Speaking of binging, Youtube Premium has every damn Planet of the Apes movie known to man for free right now. I think the last time I saw the original was before I hit puberty, because I did not recall what a barely-clothed smoke show Nova was.

Dept Q on Netflix

We're on Ep4 and its very well done, highly recommend.

More oldies pulled out of the dustbin late this week.

I had to explain to the Trophy Wife that while The Whammer character (Joe Don Baker) in The Natural was profiled after Babe Ruth, that the story was just fiction. Some of the cinematography in that movie is just amazing today...over 40 years after it was released.

And Rudy...what can you say? It's got a college football backdrop, but it's just a positive film that is about the endearing power of optimism, hard work and perseverance.

Not sure this is the right crowd but there’s been some shockingly good movies in theaters lately. I loved Sinners and F1, and am also looking forward to seeing the latest Mission Impossible movie, 28 Years Later (NOT a light summer movie), and sure maybe even the new Jurassic Park or Superman.

At home I recently rewatched The Matrix. Pretty sure that movie will hold up forever.

We’ve got a new IMAX theatre in town. I think we’ll see F1 there.
